Simulations of estimating causal effects using undersmoothed HAL

Simulation 1
Data structure: \(O = (W, A, Z, Y)\)
- U - exogenous variables
- W - baseline covariate that is a measure of body condition
- A - treatment level based on W, continuous between 0 and 5
- Z - intermediate curve based on W and A
- Y - outcome, indicator of an event ?
Underlying data generating process, \(P_{U,X}\)
- Exogenous variables:
- \(U_A \sim Normal(\mu=0, \sigma^2 = 1^2)\)
- \(U_A \sim Normal(\mu=0, \sigma^2 = 2^2)\)
- \(U_Z \sim Uniform(min = 0, max = 1)\)
- \(U_Y \sim Uniform(min = 0, max = 1)\)
- Structural equations F and endogenous variables:
- \(W = U_W\)
- \(A = bound(2 - 0.5W + U_A, min=0, max=5)\)
- \(Z = \mathbf{I}[U_Z < expit(2-W-A)]\)
- \(Y = \mathbf{I}[U_Y < expit(- 8 + W + 5A + Z - 0.5WA)]\)
